A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
growth, and is inclined to bear too heavily^ for all of which reasons it 
should have special care in culture and pruning. This is one of the best 
of the Station’s new green grapes. 
Bronx Seedless—a large-clustered, large-berried grape obtained from a cross 
between a seedling and Sultanina, a seedless variety grown in California. 
The berries are oval, light red, melting, juicy and good in quality. During 
wet seasons skin is liable to crack. Seeds are soft and pulpy and are eaten 
with flesh. 
Concord Seedless—probably a sport of the Concord. Fruit resembles Concord 
in color and flavor but the clusters and berries are small. Occasionally 
seed is present but usually berries are seedless. Has possibilities for pie 
stock. 
Dunkirk—has bunches and berries similar to those of Delaware, but both 
are larger, and the crop ripens later and keeps longer. The skin is thin like 
that of Delaware, of the same color, but is tough enough to make the grape 
a good shipper. The clusters are unusually uniform in shape and size, com¬ 
pact, and well filled by the berries. The vine is vigorous, hardy, healthy 
and productive. 
Erie—a very early grape that resembles its parent Worden in flavor and 
color. Cluster and berry medium. Season a week before Fredonia. Must be 
planted alongside self-fruitful varieties such as Ontario and Fredonia. 
Fredonia—is the earliest good black grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and 
productive, and ripens its fruit 2 weeks earlier than Worden. Clusters are 
medium in size, cylindrical, and compact; berries are large, round, and 
persistent; skin is thick and tough; flesh is juicy, solid but tender; very 
good. Fredonia stands alone as an early black grape. 
Golden Muscat—possesses the rich golden color of Diamond and the fine 
muscat aroma of the European Muscat. For home use and the roadside 
market it is one of the best. The vine is vigorous, productive; the clusters 
are very large, tapering, single-shouldered, and compact; the berries are 
large, oval, juicy, tender, sweet, vinous and aromatic. Requires season 
about 10 days longer than that of Concord. 
Hanover—has clusters medium to large, compact; berries medium, slightly 
oblong, dark red ; flesh slightly tough, sweet, vinous, and good in quality; 
ripens about October first. Still on trial but most promising. 
Hector (Sta. 11456)—for years the grape industry has been looking for a red 
grape of high quality and commercial possibilities. Several grapes that 
promise to fill this need are now growing in the Station vineyards. Hector 
was produced by crossing Chasselas Rose with Brocton. Vine is strong, 
vigorous, and productive; clusters large, compact; berries medium, round¬ 
ish oval, medium red; flesh slightly meaty, juicy, sweet, vinous and good. 
Those who like the Chasselas grape should try this promising production. 
Season with Concord. Promising for table and wine uses.
